Belle view, Blaine Co. Idaho Dec 26, 1935 several times in sheep mens meetings he has alone taken a stand against a poison- ing campaign but has been laughed down as a radical. He believes that the ordinary sheep man is very narrow minded, considering his own interests only, disregarding the welfare of the trapper and the public. He also believes that a hired government trapper can secure more coyotes than the most widespread poisoning campaign, and cited the example of a trapper who secured over 300 coyotes in 2 months time. He also blamed a good deal of the criticism of sheep men should be aimed at a few large corporations who run hundreds of thousands of sheep over areas too small to provide feed for them all. Also men who graze sheep in our National Forests should pay more for their land, but grazing in these areas should not be excluded. Sheep in forested areas actually do good in some cases, he observed, In the Sawtooth the sheep help keep down blister rust by killing and trampling the thick growth of small trees growing on the forest border, which harbor the rust when left alone.
